Adding an Electronic Prescription Token
- Access the Medication section via the Care Record on the EMIS Web menu.
- If a patient isn't selected, choose one. On the Medication screen, click on Add Drug.
- Enter the drug's name; options for that drug, including dosage and quantity, will display as you type.
- Select the needed item, ensuring to populate the dosage and quantity fields either by choosing past entries or entering new details.
Issuing an Electronic Prescription Token
- Once the Medication screen is open, navigate to the Issue screen.
- Review all warnings, select a stamp doctor if needed, and handle any required reauthorisations.
- Specify if the prescription should be Immediate or Routine based on its urgency.
- Choose Print token if you want to print the prescription token; otherwise, the prescription details will be stored in the Potential EPS Tokens section for future needs.
- Click on Approve and Complete after reviewing all patient and issue details.
- Enter your PIN to digitally sign the prescription, which will then be sent to the EPS and, if configured, a token will be printed.
